Port Fushon Commission keeps 2026 millage at 6.54 mills
Summary
The Greater Fushon Port Commission voted unanimously to maintain the 2026 operations and maintenance millage at 6.54 mills after hearing staff explanation of reassessment mechanics; the resolution was adopted by roll call.
The Greater Fushon Port Commission voted to keep its 2026 operations and maintenance millage rate at 6.54 mills during its May meeting, preserving the current levy rather than raising it.
Staff explained the millage-setting context before the vote, noting that property reassessment cycles affect whether millage rates rise or fall to hold taxable revenue steady. "Be it resolved that the following millage is hereby levied on the 2026 tax roll on all properties subject to taxation by the Greater Fushon Port Commission," read General Counsel Bryce Otan while presenting the resolution for adoption. He told commissioners the process can be complicated around reassessments but that the commission was within the allowed four-year window to adjust rates if necessary.
Why it matters: Keeping the millage at its current level preserves the commission's revenue base without increasing tax rates for property owners this year. Commissioners said the decision aims to avoid placing additional burden on taxpayers during the current reassessment period.
The vote: After a motion and second, the resolution was adopted by roll call; all seated commissioners present voted in favor. The commission chair closed the item and moved to subsequent business.
What happens next: The administrative staff will transmit the adopted resolution for inclusion on the 2026 assessment roll and proceed with tax collection as provided by law. No further public hearings on the millage were scheduled at the meeting.
